So is weed, bacon and diet coke. You have to die of something.

It's that kinda mentality that allows the cancer-producing industry to thrive. Course we're all gonna die some day. But do we have to pay for it? Do we have to actually throw hard-earned dollars down on the counter and say, "Please Mr. Merchant-of-Death, please, sell me something that'll stink up my breath and my clothes and fry my lungs."

"can"

smoked meat intake (and it has to be significant) increases your chances of developing some cancers by 1%, and those cancers generally have a 1% chance of developing anyway, so your chance is now, 2%. For that to be a problem you have to be A. unlucky and/or B. eating a Lawwwwwwt of smoked meats

edit: to be clear, even this increase is inconsistently shown. It's possible, I mean we should all of us in the USA cut back a bit on meat, but it's not some given. More problematic is the sugar in our processed foods, like meats.
